Congratulations on completing your last chemo session - that's a huge milestone worth celebrating! Family members often struggle with their own fears and anxiety after a loved one's cancer diagnosis, especially when there are additional health concerns involved, which can sometimes translate into well-meaning but overwhelming protectiveness. Setting gentle but clear boundaries about what support feels helpful versus what feels suffocating can be a delicate conversation, but many survivors find success in having honest discussions about their need for independence while acknowledging their family's love and concern.

6 months agoI deal family issues with meditation and relaxation techniques, take time for yourself and try to relax, have some tea. I personally am in therapy, my therapist does a guided meditation session and during that time I donโt think about anything but relaxation, I feel so much better afterward. Best wishes!
